Abstract
With a legacy of revolutionary political cinema, Nicaraguan women directors continue to produce bold films decades after the triumph of the Sandinista Revolution in 1979 and the subsequent Civil War, which officially ended in 1990. This article offers pedagogical strategies for teaching two Nicaraguan short films, Blanco organdí (White Organdy, 1998) by María José Álvarez and Martha Clarissa Hernández and Cinema Alcázar (1997) by Florence Jaugey.
